Lotta Farms is a licensed Humboldt County cannabis cultivator and distributor in Carlotta, California, growing hand-trimmed, small-batch flower on the same land it sells from. Its farmstand at 6287 Highway 36 is the first of its kind in the state, a licensed cannabis counter within walking distance of the garden that grew the plants.
Everything starts at Carlotta Gardens. Clones are made on site and the farm runs seed to sale, so a bag of flower traces back to the row it came from. Growing is light-assisted rather than fully indoor, and every batch is hand-trimmed in small runs to keep trichomes and bud structure intact.
The retail catalog covers most of the ways people actually buy flower. Packaged bags come in 3.5g, 7g, 14g and 28g with A-grade buds and a Boveda pack inside, alongside 7g jars, single one-gram pre-rolls, and multipacks of two or fourteen half-gram joints. Pre-rolls are filled with whole flower, never trim.
Vapes are disposable devices filled with clean extraction inputs, including a half-gram live rosin option. On the wholesale side, Lotta moves bulk light-assisted flower and fresh-frozen material for the solventless market, grown in native soil, cut at peak and frozen immediately to hold terpenes for hash makers. White-label and private-label runs are open to licensed partners.
Strains lean hybrid, with sativa- and indica-dominant picks in the rotation. Pink Z, Orange Cherry Gelato, Super Silver Haze, Lotta Pineapple, Sour Cherry Berry, Jelly Donutz, TerpGazm, Lemon Cherry Gelato, Runtz, Papaya Mosa and Zours have all run through the lineup. Each one is filed under an intended experience, Calm, Energy, Balance, Creative, Smile or Blackout, rather than a THC headline.
Each strain gets its own page with tasting notes and aroma detail, which makes the lineup easier to shop than a wall of percentages. Bulk buyers are pitched on the same idea from the other direction: batches chosen for aroma and character that repeat from run to run. The site also carries a glossary and a journal on craft cultivation and California licensing, published in English and Spanish.
That approach has been graded outside the farm gate. At the 2025 California Cannabis Awards, Lotta took silver in the mixed-light flower class for limonene with Pink Z and for pinene with Orange Cherry Gelato, plus bronze finishes for Pink Z in both pinene and terpinolene. The strains winning terpene medals are the same ones on the shelf.
Every product is tested by state-licensed third-party labs under California Department of Cannabis Control rules, and the certificates are posted openly on the farm's own testing page. The team is direct about potency shifting by strain, harvest and batch, and says it works toward terpene expression and genetics instead of inflated numbers.
The line reaches customers through licensed California dispensaries, with Revolution Emporium in Ukiah carrying it and running delivery, and pre-orders go through the farm's online menu. The Carlotta farmstand is open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM. Behind the garden are cultivation manager Joe Miller, propagation manager Jesse Vanoni and farm operations supervisor Rob Lujan.
Bring cash if you are driving out. The counter takes cash and debit where supported, and credit card acceptance is limited by federal banking restrictions, the same wall every California cannabis retailer runs into. Fresh-frozen stays a wholesale product rather than a shelf item, and the farm fields separate inquiries for events and private experiences on the property.
